Most policies of VOD services are mainly studied about server system, and make no touch on clients buffer stabilization which is the basis of guaranteeing playback quality and playing without cut off. In this paper, we proposed a skipping frame transfer policy that can sending dynamic buffer control signal to server in accordance with clients buffer state of starvation or overrun, and server transfers a skipped frame to client after receive the control signal. And through a simulation, we show the suggested policy is more efficiency on playback quality by buffer stabilization which is by preventing loss and miss for receiving frame due to grow worse client buffer state.

본 논문에서는 분산 멀티미디어 환경에서 데이터 크기의 가변성과 네트워크의 부하변동으로 인하여 발생하는 미디어 불연속성을 방지하면서 동기화를 보장하는 클라이언트 버퍼 안정화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안 알고리즘은 클라이언트의 상황에 맞도록 산출된 미디어스크림의 제어량과 제어시간이 포함된 제어 메시지를 멀티미디어 서버로 전송함으로써 클라이언트 버퍼를 안정화 시킬 수 있다. 클라이언트는 주기단위로 수신측의 자원과 네트워크의 상태를 예측하여 오버런 혹은 스타베이션이 발생할 징후가 보이면 제어 메시지를 생성하는데, 제어값들은 클라이언트의 상황과 멀티미디어 서버의 미디어스트림전송 메커니즘 및 네트워크의 상태를 고려하여 생성된다. 본 알고리즘의 특징은 미디어스트림의 과도한 드롭으로 인한 질 저하를 방지하며, 특히 네트워크의 부하변동이 클 경우에는 빠른 속도로 시스템을 안정화시킨다.

We consider a buffer-constrained adaptive quantization algorithm for image compression. Buffer control algorithm was considered with source coding scheme by some researchers and recently a formal description of the algorithm in terms of rate-distortion has been developed. We propose a buffer control algorithm that incorporates the buffer occupancy into the Lagrange multiplier form in a rate-distortion cost measure. Although the proposed algorithm provides the suboptimal performance as opposed to the optimal Vieterbi algorithm, it can be implemented with very low computaional complexity. In addition stability of this buffer control algorithm has been mentioned briefly using Liapnov stability theory.

This paper describes a control algorithm for the buffer of a deep-sea mining system, in which the buffer is connected to a long slender pipe and then to a surface ship on one end, and to a collector on sea floor through a flexible hose on the other end. A mathematical modeling is established for designing the controller for buffer thrusters, in which the dynamic response of the long pipe is taken into account based on the mode superposition method. The fluid loading acting on the pipe is estimated by using Morison's formula. For simplicity, the surface ship is assumed to be kept stationary, the reaction from the flexible hose is ignored and only the lateral motions are considered. In order to guide the buffer to react only to the low-frequency motion of the surface vessel, the FIR digital filter is introduced to a PID-based controller It can be shown numerically that the high frequency component of the ship's motion can be effectively filtered out by using the FIR low pass filter.

To guarantee client buffer stabilization and visual quality, the VOD service that provides real time video titles on requirements of numerous users, needs a mechanism which transfers frames with dropping or skipping algorithm by network condition. In this paper, we show an algorithm that transfers withdrawed skipped MPEG frames(I, P, B frame) from disk to client dependent on network load. Moreover, we verify through a simulation that adaptive dealing on network load can reduce the network load and stabilize client receiving buffer.

다수의 사용자 요구에 의한 비디오 타이틀을 실시간으로 제공해야 하는 VOD 서비스는 클라이언트의 버퍼 안정화와 재생 질 보증을 위해서는 네트워크의 상태를 주기적으로 모니터링하여 그 상태에 따라 디스크 배열에 저장되어 있는 프레임을 드로핑(Dropping)이나 스키핑(Skipping) 알고리즘으로 프레임을 전송하는 메카니즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 MPEG을 이용하여 일반 VHS 비디오 테이프의 내용을 손실 압축하여 디스크 배열에 저장해 두고, 디스크 배열에 압축 저장된 MPEG 프레임(I, P, B 프레임) 데이터를 네트워크의 부하에 따라 저장장치에서 생략 인출하여 클라이언트에 전송하는 알고리즘을 제시한다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 네트워크의 부하에 적응적으로 대처하여 네트워크의 부하를 줄이고 클라이언트의 수신 버퍼를 안정화시킬 수 있음을 검증한다.

In this paper, we present the design and analyze the transmission rate of a control algorithm for the client buffer on the VOD systems. The design is based on the server's data transmission rate and clients' data consumption rate. The proposed algorithm stabilizes the client's buffer by reducing the oscillation phenomena of the buffer. And it uses the BCT (Buffer Check Time) to reduce the scheduling load of the client system. The client's data consumption rate and the buffer size are calculated on the basis of BCT. In case that the predicted buffer size operates in the overrun or starvation the buffer. As the load fluctuation of the network, the transmission rate control policy cannot stabilize the client's buffer alone. The media scaling policy, therefore, also performs its complementary part in stabilizing the client's buffer, and performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm is provided through simulation.

We must design the buffer algorithm that protects traffic congestion and decreasing throughput at satellite communication network. It is important that buffer algorithm is satisfied with the good performance of transmission packet, responsibility of many connecting traffic and the QOS for connecting character. Old buffer algorithms are not the suitable algorithms when we have the satellite communication network environment. RED buffer algorithm is proposed by Floyd. It has a better performance than old buffer algorithm. But this algorithm is not well adapted a number of connecting TCP packet and changing network, so this algorithm has a bad performance on satellite communication network that is many of connecting user at same time. This paper propose the TARED(Target Adaptive RED). It has a good performance, adaptation and stability on satellite communication network and has not overflow and underflow of the buffer level.

In a dynamically changing environment, the manager of a maintenance and remodeling (M/R) program is confronted with an increasing complexity of coordinating and cooperating multi-resource constrained multiple projects. The root causes of the complexity, uncertainty and interdependence, cause an internal disruption of an activity and chain reactions of disturbance propagation that deteriorate the stability and manageability of the program. This paper evaluates previous endeavors to apply production control and management techniques to the construction industry, and investigates the possibility of applying other management concepts and theories to organizational program management. In particular, this paper proposes a buffer allocation model by which periodic buffers are allocated in the flows of program constraint resources to stabilize a program master schedule instead of protecting individual activities. Comparative experiments by Monte Carlo simulations illustrate improved performance of the proposed model in terms of program's goals: productivity, flexibility, and long-term stability.
